Question

six balls numbered from 1 to 6 are placed in a bag. some are grey and some are white, as shown below. the balls numbered 1 and 4 are grey. the balls numbered 2, 3, 5, and 6 are white. answer the following questions. write each answer as a fraction. a ball will be randomly selected. (a) what is the probability that a number greater than 4 is selected?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and favorable outcomes

Total balls: 6 (numbers 1 - 6). Numbers > 4: 5, 6 → 2 favorable.

Step2: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{favorable}}{\text{total}}$ = $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$
